Excavation and Trenching Services

Residential Trenching & Excavation Services in Westford, Newton, MA, and Surrounding Areas

At Ryan Gath Electric, we provide focused, professional trenching and excavation services designed exclusively for customers throughout Westford, Newton, and the surrounding Massachusetts communities. We specialize in the critical underground work required to power and connect the amenities that enhance your residential property.

Trenching for Detached Buildings and Remote Devices

We handle the trenching necessary to lay underground electrical conduit that safely runs power from your main home to any detached structure or remote electrical device on your property. This work ensures a secure, code-compliant, and aesthetically pleasing power delivery system.


Our primary trenching applications include running power to:


  • Detached Garages and Workshops: Providing permanent, dedicated power for lighting, tools, and climate control.
  • Pools and Hot Tubs: Installing the required electrical lines for pumps, heaters, and lighting systems.
  • Sheds and Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs): Connecting these spaces to your home's main electrical service.
  • Electric Vehicle (EV) Chargers: Trenching for the main electrical line that feeds a detached EV charging station.
  • Standby Generators: Running the necessary wiring and control lines to connect your generator to your home's transfer switch.


We manage all aspects of the process, from planning the most efficient and least disruptive path to obtaining permits and completing the final backfill.

Focused Residential Excavation

While our core expertise is electrical, our excavation services extend to other residential needs, specifically digging trenches for new plumbing lines.

What We Excavate:


Internal Plumbing Lines: We dig and prepare trenches for new or rerouted plumbing lines that move wastewater or potable water between your existing home, additions, or detached structures (e.g., a detached bathroom or laundry facility).


Drainage Systems: We can excavate for the installation of new subsurface drainage or French drain systems around your property.

What We Do Not Excavate:


Please note that our services are strictly limited to on-property residential work. We do not excavate for main utility lines coming in from the street, such as:

  • Public Water Service Lines
  • Natural Gas Service Lines
